Lyrics
Look into the yes of a madman
Observing the eyes of a mentally unstable person
You can see it in his face, he's a weak and sad man
His demeanor reflects weakness and sadness
Staring straight ahead, his eyes set like stone
He stares fixedly ahead, displaying a resolute expression
With a nine millimeter cocked at your dome
He's holding a loaded handgun pointed at your head
No way out, it's too late 'cause you're already in it
There's no escape because you're already involved
So what'cha gonna do you'll be dead in a minute
Your time is limited, and you'll likely die soon
Thinking slow will get you nowhere fast
Being deliberate won't help; quick action is necessary
A young life terminated with one short blast
A young life is ended abruptly with a gunshot
You live like that, you die like this
If you live recklessly, you'll die in similar circumstances
That's how it is
That's the harsh reality
Livin' with regret is no way to live
Living with remorse is not a fulfilling way of life
That's how it is
Reiterating the harsh reality of life
You're dead too soon if the bullet don't miss
Your life might end prematurely if the bullet finds its mark
That's how it is kid
That's the way life unfolds, especially for the young
How it is
Describing the reality of the situation
That's what you get for
Consequences for living a particular lifestyle
Living like this
Living in a manner that invites death
With a bullet in your head, you're dead, you can't miss
Death is certain with a bullet in your head
Ain't no time for regret when you're body is in a bag
No time for remorse when you're already a corpse
Ain't no time to change your mind when your head begins to sag
No chance to change your mind when death is imminent
Should've known better, ain't working for you now
Past choices are of no help in the present situation
Maybe if you'd know better you'd be here somehow
If prior decisions were different, the outcome might have changed
So change your ways before you ways change you
Alter your behavior before it leads to irreversible consequences
With a hole in your head that you can see through
With a gunshot wound, your perspective changes
You're looking up and you're looking down
Feeling disoriented, with chaos around you
Shot's are rippin' out from all around
Bullets are flying from all directions
You're crying out for help but it can't be found
Seeking help futilely in a dire situation
The voice of regret is the only sound
Regret becomes the dominant feeling
You play the game and you pay the price
Engaging in risky behavior comes with a cost
For hustlin' in the gutter with the motherfuckin' street lice
Living in the dangerous, impoverished areas
You're runnin' and gunnin' and whatever else goes
Engaging in various risky activities
And you're goin' with your crew whichever way the wind blows
Going along with your group, no matter the consequences
"Cause you got their back and they got yours
Mutual support among peers in a risky lifestyle
And you live for yourself and you make your own laws
Living by your own rules, regardless of norms
But sooner or later what goes around comes around
Karma catches up, leading to an untimely demise
You wind up dead and buried in hard, cold ground
Ultimately facing death and being buried
